[SOUP]

Angry...GREAT ideas! I'll work on it with my IT people. What's that? Huh??? We don't have any IT people? Uh oh...

Monty...gotta get The U (are you reading this Mr. Frevola?) to approve the use of The "U" logo in the actual theme of the blog.

They have been OK with us using it in articles so far, but as a banner is different with copyright issues coming into play. I'll check on Monday.

The UM ticket office is working on a ad placement for TOP LEFT that will link you directly to the ticket office at UM.

Lindsay Radeer (Hurricane Club) and Patricia Brodeur (Alumni Association) are going to write articles for the blob soon.

More to follow...

Yeah, get the I.T. Dept. to work on that and did they install those Blade Servers yet to handle all the traffic??

The CaneSpace Online Store is gonna need it when you throw-up all that new merchandise!

[AngrCane]

If that Ole Miss pitcher throws one more ball in the dirt, I think their catcher whom looks like the Shermanator from American Pie is gonna BEAT HIS AZZ!!

[Montreal-Cane]

The UM ticket office is working on a ad placement for TOP LEFT that will link you directly to the ticket office at UM....

86 finally you get some love well deserved
from the UM Athletics... With the new AD i think you will get more support...I will write to him and let him know that the best Canes fans are here on Canespace...

[AngrCane]

All I know is that when this whole site blows up large, I want a suite at Cane Space Stadium with 86 scores naming rights at Joe Robbie!

And while your at it 86, make sure you negotiate with Huizinga to open up the Eastern Side of the stadium so we get that "old horseshoe" feeling back, to INCLUDE THE BREEZE.
